elvislover324 - I had never really thought of posting an ad. I just assumed if we could not find it, no one would. I did however ask everyone I knew if they had a metal detector but no one did.
That is a good idea, though!
Radiojane - that is so awesome about your great aunt! I bet she was so happy. I would be happy if mine turned up in some crazy place, but I have no idea where it even fell off. I just looked at my hand and realized it was gone.
I have a watch my husband got me just before he left for Iraq the last time. I thought I had lost it at Walmart. I panicked! I was retracing my steps and crawling around looking on the floor and when a person who worked there saw what I was doing, they started looking. I had an older man who went in the parking lot and looked under the cars with me. There were several people helping me look & I never found it. It is an expensive watch & I thought someone may try to pawn it so I put an ad in the paper & offered a reward. But it was actually my oldest son who found it, under the seat in our truck! The clasp on it broke and it had fallen under there. He said "do I get the reward?" lol And yes, I gave it to him.
